Why You Should Give Pea Protein a Chance

A lot of people who use protein powder don’t realize the impact that certain powders can have on their health. Some people just buy what looks attractive without researching the product or taking a gander at the ingredient list. We can tell you one thing right now: stop using whey protein and start using plant-based protein powders! This is a great opportunity to try pea protein.

What Is Pea Protein?

Pea protein is exactly what it sounds like: protein extracted from peas. This sounds a lot more chemically unsettling than it actually is. Dried peas are milled into flour and the starch is separated from the protein, which can then be used in smoothies, almond milk, vegan recipes, and more.

It Has A Neutral Flavor:

When buying protein powders, the taste is one of the most important things to consider. You don’t want something that is too artificial and you don’t want something that tastes like chalk. Luckily, pea protein has a neutral flavor, which means that it will blend nicely with your favorite smoothie.

It Is Hypoallergenic:

Because pea protein is dairy-free, soy-free, egg-free, and gluten-free, most anyone can consume it without having an allergic reaction. Don’t consume it if you are allergic to peas.

It Has A Ton Of Protein:

One serving of pea protein contains about 20 grams of protein. Because pea protein is plant-based, your body can absorb it and use it more efficiently than protein supplements that aren’t plant-based.

When buying something, especially protein powder, the most popular or highly advertised brands are not necessarily the best for your body. Try giving pea protein a chance and see how it makes your body feel. We are pretty sure you will be impressed!

A: Great question. There is protein in a lot of the vegetables that we eat. Think about it like this, elephants are vegetarians, and they are some of the biggest/strongest animals around. Eat plenty of leafy green vegetables (kale, spinach, etc.), goji berries, nuts, broccoli, avocados, beets, cauliflower, and asparagus.

You may not consume wild game, fish or whey protein. However, you can try the Vegan Protein to mix with smoothies. Spinach, kale, and raw nuts and seeds are also good sources of protein.

A:

Doesn't sound like it will mess up your FULL BODY DETOX. Go for it! But leave out the rice/soy cream! The rice milk is okay (but it is processed/cooked)!

As long as the nutrition bars are made from RAW FOODS, they are ok. Please check the ingredients label to make sure they are within the parameters of the cleanse guidelines.

Herbal supplements are not drugs. The Vegan Protein Powder Mix contains natural occurring protein, and will supplement your diet at a healthy level. We do not offer measurements in mg per capsule because there is no true way to measure how much protein is in an organic item. Many companies offer that measurement as a way to get you to buy more of their products, but it is typically just a guesstimate. For instance, we could say that there is "x" amount of protein inside of each capsule but some of the capsules may be denser than others etc. Hopefully this offers an honest explanation of why we do not do this. If you are using it to gain muscle mass while lifting weights, this product should suffice, and can be mixed in an Almond Shake or with other such ingredients that are high in organic protein to help you reach your goal.

Q: I just ordered two 20 day full body cleanses one for me and one for my husband... He was wondering if he can still take basic protein powder while on the cleanse?

A:

I would advise against protein powders during detoxing. The main focus of detoxing is to give the liver and kidneys a break so they can clean house. Adding protein means less time for your liver to detox.

Q: Is necessary to continue food combining after completing FULL BODY DETOX in 20 Days? For example can you consume sweet fruit with sub acid & acid fruit also starches and vegetable (beans) proteins together? I learned in Nutrition that starches (rice) and beans are complete protein when combined together that our body needs. Are you at risk for protein deficiency if consuming vegan diet?

A:

IT'S YOUR CHOICE! OF COURSE IT'S BEST TO CONTINUE TO DO SO. IT'S UP TO YOU, BELOVED! I PERSONALLY DON'T RECOMMEND IT. NOT TRUE! YOU CAN'T GET PROTEIN FROM COOKED FOODS REGARDLESS OF WHAT THE FOOD IS. OF COURSE NOT, UNLESS YOU ARE IGNORANT TO PROTEIN, REAL PROTEIN, HOW AND WHERE TO GET IT.

Q: I would like to find an herbal treatment to high protein levels, I am diabetic and have that under control but I need to lower to do my job. I would like to order or pick up something what would you suggest?

Q: I had previously done the full body cleanse and had a great experience and outstanding results. One thing I would like to add while on the cleanse is a protein. Can I add any protein while on the cleanse? If so, what would you suggest?

A: Yes, you can add protein to the diet of the cleanse. You can't use any protein powders that are dairy based like whey. We recommend spirulina, hemp protein powder or green pea protein. You can also get protein from the foods within the diet. Raw foods that are high in protein include almonds, broccoli, spinach, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, swiss chard, snow peas and much more.

You can consume organically natural hemp protein while on the cleanses, however we prefer to let the herbs work on it's own. A lot of people feel like they need an additional amount of protein while on the cleanse, but the best source of protein is within the foods we consume.
